When Justin Fields chose to talk to ESPN about his experience living with epilepsy during National Epilepsy Awareness Month in 2022, the disease was first made public. Let’s study up on the epilepsy suffered by Justin Fields.

When Fields’ mother, Gina Tobey, revealed she too had epilepsy, they realized they were related genetically. Tobey said she outgrew the ailment around the age of 19, having received a diagnosis in the seventh grade.

Apparently, nobody was all that interested in having Fields be their starter next season. So, in essence, teams would be trading for a backup QB who only has one year left on his cheap, rookie-scale contract, which will pay him approximately $3.2 million for the 2024 season.

Following his trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers by the Chicago Bears, Justin Fields is going through a major career transition. Additionally, as Fields prepares to start behind Russell Wilson in 2024, former NFL quarterback Cam Newton discussed his vision for Fields’ future.

“You went from a franchise quarterback to a package guy,” Cam Newton said, via his podcast. “If Russell Wilson is the starter for 18 weeks and they go to the playoffs, Russell Wilson is on a one-year deal, so with that being said, it’s like yo the Steelers are in favor, we got two quarterbacks that we can evaluate, and I’m willing to take that (chance).

“But if our penciled-in starter day one, which they have said Russell Wilson is the starter, does what he has to do, Justin, we’ll get you in some packages, you and Najee (Harris)… But damn bro, I was an 11th pick, feel me, this was two years ago.”

It seemed like a matter of when, not if, the Bears would trade Justin Fields this offseason. It happened over the weekend when they sent him to the Steelers.

Chicago, which holds the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, seems to be zeroing in on Caleb Williams. It is a unique situation, but Ryan Poles decided that he could not pass up someone who is considered a generational quarterback prospect.

Now, Fields will try to learn sitting behind Wilson for a year with with Mike Tomlin’s coaching. The hope for Fields is that after his year with the Steelers makes his stock rise higher than what it was this offseason, and some team, whether it be the Steelers or another team, will give him a chance to start the year after.
